Study on vibration phenomena of superconducting magnets for MAGLEV

Heat loads occur in the superconducting magnets for Maglev applications due to vibration during train operation. To control this heat load, it is necessary to understand the vibration phenomena in the superconducting magnet. In this study, vibration evaluation and control for superconducting magnets were addressed from both experimental and analytical approaches, and verification tests were conducted with a prototype model. This paper describes verification results for the prototype model and the results for an actual superconducting magnet which was constructed based on the prototype model.
